We're talking about the data table, not hte definition table - there
isn't any ordering from that POV.

Well, not necessarily.

The main issue with UNIQUE(NULL, x) is thatyou can then have multiple
values for x, eg (NULL, 1), (NULL, 1) is valid with a unique constraint,
since NULL != NULL.

On second throuhgs, maybe a separate 'defaults' table is better, but
shared for all types. Its not like creating a table costs us or
anything, and we won't be using this in a context where it would be an
extra join, I think - it'll just be a different one.
